Jeff Heuerman

Jeff Heuerman #86 is a sophomore tight end for the Buckeyes. He started in the games against University of California, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Nebraska and Indiana.

So far this season he has had 81 yards and one touchdown. That may not seem like much, but the Buckeyes are undefeated while still rebuilding their team with young players.

Heuerman should be able to perform exceptionally well against Purdue this weekend, especially since Purdue’s defense had 27 missed tackles in last weekend’s game against Wisconsin. This weekend will be the perfect opportunity for Heuerman to really showcase his skills.

Braxton Miller

Most Buckeye fans are already excited about Miller. He’s a candidate for the Heisman and has already had 1,271 yards this season.

But fans should be more excited about what he will do in the future. He is only a sophomore, and has two more years to lead the Buckeyes.

He has a tough schedule ahead of him with Purdue, Penn State, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, but Miller should be able to lead his players to a victory in each and every one of these games.

During Saturday’s game against Indiana, Miller took it into his own hands to lead the team to a win. He scored two touchdowns and rushed for 149 yards. That win made the Buckeyes 7-0, which puts them in the lead for the Big Ten Conference. Any sophomore who can put up those kinds of numbers is going to get the attention they deserve.
